Guest Speaker Jane Hilson Myotherapist from Interactive Health in Selby
Jane presented on feeling good!.. and the interaction between physical therapy, pychological therapy and challenging activities - the 3=legged stool of support.
Jane explained how emotions can affect chronic pain as can social aspects of your life. That pain is in the brain - no brain no pain.
Jane teaches myotherapy and plays the sax in a band and had great insights into that side of her career :)
